What Happened To Winter?

CHRISTOPHER CREEK

The holidays are over and it seems like winter is too. Where is the cold weather and the snow?

Hopefully this is just a fluke and we will get lots of moisture this winter.

Things are really quiet in the community. The children are all back in school and I think the moms are a bit worn out and just taking things slow. I know I am.

This Sunday, Jan. 12, there will be a baby shower for Alexis Ginther. For those of you who are not familiar with the name, she is Shelly's daughter who waitresses for Creekside. The shower will be at 3 p.m. They will be doing a "Name the Baby" game. The baby is a girl, so address your gifts in the name you would like to see them choose. Everyone is welcome to attend. Any questions, call Shelly at 478-4576.

Here are some weekly opportunities for growth: There is Ladies Bible study, Tuesdays, at 10:30 a.m., led by Donna Adams, 104 W. Timber Circle., Payson 472-6335.

They are looking for a large, 17-inch monitor for the pastor's study. You can call me at 478-4519 if you have one.

A mother invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to her 6-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the blessing?" "I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied. "Just say what you hear Mommy say," the mother answered. The daughter bowed her head and said, "Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"
